Infrared Imaging of z=2.43 Radio Galaxy B3 0731+438 with the Subaru Telescope - Detection of H Ionization Cones of a Powerful Radio Galaxy
We report on infrared imaging observations of the z=2.429 radio galaxy B3
0731+438 with the Subaru telescope. The images were taken with the K'-band
filter and the 2.25 um narrow-band filter to examine the structure and
properties of the Ha+[N II] 6548,6583 emission-line components. The Ha+[N II]
emission-line image shows biconical lobes with an extent of 40 kpc, which are
aligned with the radio axis. The rest-frame equivalent widths of the emission
lines at these cones are as large as 1100 AA, and can be well explained by a
gas-cloud model photoionized by power-law continuum radiation. The isotropic
ionizing photon luminosity necessary to ionize the hydrogen gas in these cones
amounts to 1e57(photons/s), which is larger than that in the majority of
radio-loud QSOs. From these results, we propose that the Ha alignment effect in
this object is produced by biconical gas clouds, which are swept up by the
passage of radio jets, and are ionized by strong UV radiation from a hidden
AGN. The continuum image consists of two components, a stellar-like point
source and an extended diffuse galaxy. These are supposed to be a type-2 AGN
and its host galaxy. The SED is fitted by a combination of spectra of a
reddened dust-scattered AGN and an instantaneous starburst population of 500
Myr old. The stellar mass of the galaxy is estimated to be 3e11 M_solar, which
is as large as that of typical 3C radio galaxies at z=1.Comment: 12 pages, 4 Postscript figures, uses PASJ2.sty, PASJ95.sty,

本研究では,大学生・大学院生の心理学教育に対するニーズを明らかにするため2つの調査を実施した。研究1では,学部学生を対象に進学動機や心理学教育に対する認識,ニーズ等に関する質問紙調査を実施した。研究2では,大学院生を対象に学部教育と大学院教育の連携に関するインタビュー調査を実施した。分析の結果,興味関心がある授業と就職のための授業を区別する対処を学生が行なっていること,早い段階で将来の見通しを学生が持てるような対応をしていくことが必要なこと(研究1),および学部学生と大学院生とでは求める学びに違いがあること,大学院では学びの捉え直しが生じること,資格取得のための受身的動機が強いこと(研究2)が明らかとなった。以上のことから,インターンシップやボランティア体験を通じ,授業で学んだ心理学を積極的に活用する機会を学びの中に設けることによる,心理学の有用性に関する理解の前倒しが心理学教育には有効であると考えられる。In this study, two surveys were conducted to clarify the needs of undergraduate and graduate students for psychology education. In Study1, a questionnaire survey was conducted on undergraduate students’ motivations, awareness of psychology education, needs, etc. In Study2, an interview survey on collaboration between undergraduate and postgraduate education was conducted for graduate students. It was found the students took action to distinguish between classes of interest and classes for employment, and it is useful to cope with the prospects of the future at an early stage (Study1), and that there was discrepancy between learning sought by undergraduate students and that by graduate students, they rethink learning in graduate schools, and that there is strong passive motivations for acquiring qualifications (Study2). Therefore, it is considered effective for psychology education to accelerate understanding by providing opportunities to actively use psychology learned in class through internships and volunteer experiences

Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of Superselective Intra-arterial Chemotherapy for Oral Cancer: Flow Simulation of Anticancer Agent in the Linguofacial Trunk
Superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy (SSIAC) for oral cancer can deliver a higher concentration of anticancer agent into a tumor-feeding artery than intravenous systemic chemotherapy. However, the agent distribution between the lingual artery and facial artery (FA) is not clear in SSIAC for patients with the linguofacial trunk. The agent distribution in the SSIAC method was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Ten three-dimensional vessel models were created from CT images of two patients with oral cancer (patients A and B) with the linguofacial trunk. Catheter models were combined with vessel models to mimic intra-arterial infusion, and the agent flow was analyzed. In patient A models, the agent distribution varied depending on the catheter tip position in the linguofacial trunk, while all anticancer agents flowed into the FA only in patient B models. This study revealed that the behavior of the agent in the common trunk is determined by the blood flow field which depends on the topography of the vessels in each patient. Therefore, the catheter tip position should be changed according to the vessel topography to deliver anticancer agents into the tumor-feeding artery. Moreover, CFD can be a useful method to predict the agent flow for each patient before SSIAC

Computational fluid dynamics study of intra-arterial chemotherapy for oral cancer
Abstract Background Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for oral cancer can deliver a higher concentration of anticancer agent into a tumor-feeding artery than intravenous systemic chemotherapy. However, distribution of anticancer agent into several branches of the external carotid artery (ECA) in IAC has not demonstrated sufficient treatment efficacy. To improve the effectiveness of IAC, the flow distribution of anticancer agent into the branches of the ECA in several IAC methods was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Methods Patient-specific three-dimensional vessel models were created from CT images of 2 patients with tongue cancer. Catheter models were combined with the vessel models. Thirty-two models were generated with varying vertical and horizontal positions of the catheter tip. With the use of a zero-dimensional resistance model of the peripheral vessel network, conventional IAC and superselective IAC were simulated in 30 and 2 models, respectively. The flow distribution of anticancer agent into the branches of the ECA was investigated in 32 models. Additionally, the blood streamline was traced from the inlet of the common carotid artery toward each outlet to examine the flow of anticancer agent in all models, and the wall shear stress of the vessel was calculated for some models. Results The CFD simulations could be conducted within a reasonable computational time. In several models, the anticancer agent flowed into the target artery only when the catheter tip was located below the bifurcation of the ECA and each target artery. Furthermore, the anticancer agent tended to flow into the target artery when the catheter tip was shifted toward the target artery. In all ECA branches that had flow of anticancer agent, the blood streamlines to the target arteries contacted the catheter tip. Anticancer agent flowed into only the target artery in patients’ models for superselective IAC. However, high wall shear stress was observed at the target artery in one patient’s model. Conclusions This CFD study showed that location of the catheter tip was important in controlling the anticancer agent in conventional IAC. The distribution rate of anticancer agent into the tumor-feeding artery tended to increase when the catheter tip was placed below and toward the target artery. Although superselective IAC can reliably supply anticancer agent to the target artery, high wall shear stress at the target artery can occur, depending on vessel geometry of the patient, which may cause serious complications during the treatment
